The Camelot Wheel is a tremendously helpful tool for DJ’s in mixing tracks in key so they blend together harmonically.
The wheel was adapted from the “circle of fifths” system and incorporates a numerical value system to make it easier to understand for those for those are not familiar with key signatures or music theory.
The number values on the Camelot Wheel represent the key and the letters identify between minor (A) or major scales (B).
The way to use it?
Whatever key your song is in, you can mix it with a song in the key one position to the left, one position to the right and directly above or below depending if a major or minor key.
Major Key Example : Current track you are playing is the key of 1B (B Major).
You can mix it with tracks in 12B, 2B and 1A.
Minor Key Example : Current track you are playing is the key of 1A (A-Flat Minor).
You can mix it with tracks in 12A, 2A and 1B .
The Camelot Wheel is an extremely useful tool for DJs who mix harmonically and those seeking to learn more about it and experiment.
Trust me, you will definitely hear the difference!
